Description

I want you to know whats happening

From what might be a news desk, an office, a bedroom, a bunker under a mountain or a theatre, two people reporters, senators, freedom fighters, or just well concerned citizens like you think about what it is to speak up, speak out, blow the whistle and lift the veil.

A Machine Theyre Secretly Building charts a course from the Top Secret secrets of WWI intelligence (via the moon, 1972s Chess World Championships, a disco in Oklahoma and the cafeteria at CERN) through to 9/11, the erosion of privacy, Edward Snowden and the terror of a future that might already be upon us.

It is about how we got to the point where our governments are spying on us and how thats changing who we are.
